This was mentioned on PFW last week..and I didn't see a mention of that here. Seems like Detroit may do it for a 4th...Hmmmm would you do it?? Thoughts?? Given the Branch situation, it may eb waht is needed.,,just adding depth.

I'll take a pass. I thought that guy was going to be a bust before he even entered the draft.

Was this a rumor that the Patriots are interested or just a rumor that he could be traded ? I would definitely be interested but I don't want to think too much about it unless we've been linked at least a little.

I would consider that a chance worth taking - although I don't know the specifics of his contract status (which must always be considered).

As is usual with #1 picks, the salary is low and Detroit would eat the signing bonus. These are the numbers, there may be other bonuses involved, though :

2005 230000.00
2006 350000.00
2007 600000.00
2008 885000.00
2009 975000.00
2010 560000.00

We don't need another tight end on the roster.

no we dont need another TE but how about a WR whos been losing weight and getting quicker whos 6"4 - 6"5 .. where have our tall WRs been last few years? Right now its Jackson at 6"1 but Williams for a 4th..definatley worth it

yeah thats the knock on him..not motivated/worth ethic..doesnt come to practice on time a lot..not motivated. but with Brady..every WR is motivated..and on this team you need to be so if Patriots look at it and decide to give it a shot..i can see him being our #3 or #4 this year if Branch is around adn then if they shine..i have a bad feeling Branch would be let to walk. But its a rumor..nothing more i believe.

I remember watching Williams a few years back (USC vs Michigan) and Brady being there and saying how much he would to have Williams to threw to. In my opinion he would be a steal for a 4th,
